It is Super Sarah’s last day at CIPA. Super Sarah’s official job title is Mr
Davies’s PA, but in reality she is Mr Davies’s brain. And when Mr Davies is not using his, she is
my brain too. Sarah knows who everyone
is and where they are supposed to be RIGHT NOW.
If they are not where they’re supposed to be, she can arrange for them
to be teleported, just as she can arrange hotels and taxis and conference calls
and for extremely cogent and intelligent-sounding letters to be sent out in the
Officers’ names without us even realising we’ve done it. We are going to miss her.
Mr Davies gives Super Sarah a hat as a leaving present. It is a rather fabulous hat and I am very
jealous. I wonder whether I should leave
too, so that I can have one. Mr Davies
intimates that this is not how things are likely to pan out.
Super Sarah’s replacement is called Gary. Gary looks relaxed and cheerful. It is almost as though Mr Davies has not yet
explained his job description to him.
But surely that cannot be.
I will send him a hat catalogue. It does no harm to be prepared.
